Synopsis: Henry Ward Beecher, golden-tongued pastor of Brooklyn's Plymouth Church, whose sermons made the multitudes gasp and swoon, was a celbrated public figure and peerless moral force...Suddenly, the nation is flabbergasted when Beecher is accused of seducing the wife of his protege. Beecher's sister was Harriet Beecher Stowe - who wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin". I liked this book - it was shocking.
